The billows feel him, as he works his way;

His hoary footsteps shine along the sea;

The foam high-wrought, with white divides the green,

And distant sailors point where death has been.

His like earth bears not on her spacious face:

Alone in nature stands his dauntless race,

For utter ignorance of fear renown'd,

In wrath he rolls his baleful eye around:

Makes every swoln, disdainful heart, subside,

And holds dominion o'er the sons of pride.
